Although she typically got an equal amount of album space, she refused to pair down her songs, hence "I Don't Want To Know" making it onto "Rumours."
That's a blatant lie.

Mick, who went bankrupt in 1984, was pushing hard for a Fleetwood Mac album, to the point where he threatened to get an outside producer. Obviously, that got Lindsey's attention.
As for SYW/Gift of Screws...Let me get this straight: That was Lindsey unloading his solo songs that he recorded with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and to a lesser extent Christine McVie onto Fleetwood Mac? Keeping in mind that Lindsey rekindled his personal and professional relationship with Mick, John, and Christine around the time Fleetwood Mac was finishing "Time" (hence Lindsey singing backing vocals on "Nothing Without You) and was basically in the process of splitting up. There was no Fleetwood Mac when the project started. If anything GoS brought Fleetwood Mac back from the grave. Ultimately, it was the label pressuring Lindsey to release it as Fleetwood Mac, since it could have legitimately gone either way. As it is, the songs on the leaked version of GoS have spanned out over several albums, Mac or solo. Implying Lindsey was unloading songs that he recorded with Fleetwood Mac onto Fleetwood Mac is one of the most intellectually lazy things I've ever seen in here.
No, actually we do. It's been well documented.
Which enjoyed so much that he left the band.
Funny thing about that, Fleetwood Mac had disbanded when Lindsey hired Mick, John, and Christine to play on his album. Oddly enough, Stevie hired Lindsey not too long thereafter to record "Twisted."
Not true. Post-Rumours, Stevie had three singles in the top twenty, compared to Lindsey's two, HOWEVER...BOTH of Lindsey's songs cracked the top ten, compared to only one of Stevie's.
Tusk (8)
Big Love (5)
Sara (7)
Gypsy (12)
Seven Wonders (19)
Except between 1991-1995.
Umm...So has Lindsey
How do we know that's not what's going on right now?
Of course her albums will sell better. Stevie plays it safe. She makes sure her solo albums feature stars d'jour. BD had Don Henley and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, TOSOTM had Bruce Hornsby and Kenny G, and TISL had Sheryl Crow and Natalie Maines. Ever since “Whenever I Call You Friend” Stevie has been able to be seen as an entity outside of Fleetwood Mac, which wasn’t the case for Lindsey, or Christine for that matter. Lindsey’s album generally only feature Lindsey and are pretty experimental.
That being said, SWY sold over twice as many copies as TISL.
